The committee reviewed the January 1st and July 1st, 1975, reports of the engineering firm of Ruekert & Mielke as well as the Mayor's report on the sewage capacity available in the northwest and northeast treatment plants. Both reports from Ruekert & Mielke indicated that at the present time the facilities are capable of meeting the discharged effluent limi- tations established by the DNR and at no time has the weekly maximum of BOD or suspended solids established by the DNR been surpassed. ' It was noted that the average sewage flow in the northwest plant for the month of September was 448,000 gals. per day and that.�the average 1974 flow was 547,000 gals. per day. It was also noted that there is presently committed by the city 484 possible sewer connections. Using the 1974 average flow which assumed no correction of the existing inflow problem Sewer Committee 10/6/75 - p. 2 • and adding 193,600 gals. of sewage per day for previously approved subdivisions, etc. the estimated average flow into the northwest treat- ment facility would be approximately 740,000 gals. per day. Using the above information, the committee discussed the requests of the developers of subdivisions and Phase II of Pioneer Center for permission to connect into the city's sewer system. After a great deal of dis- cussion the committee agreed that, based on the above data, that there is no sewage treatment capacity available for additional residential development. In considering the status of the northeast sewage treatment facility it was noted that the average sewage flow was 271,900 gals, per day and that the average flow in 1974 was 314,OO7gals. per day. The com- mittee also noted that there were 163 units committed from previous dpproved subdivisions. Also, the Tudor Oaks Planned Unit Development using the treatment facility in off-peak hours. Considering the average sewage flow in 1974 and the need to provide capacity f6r previously committed residential units, the committee felt that the additional 64 units requested by Rite Realty for the completion of the Durham Meadows Planned Unit Development could be handled. Ald. Ford moved to recommend to the Common Council that the subdivision agreement,.for the Durham Meadows Planned Unit Development be amended by • striking Section 8 of that agreement in order that the additional 64 2-bedi`oom.ivnits can be constructed. Seconded by Ald. Dumke, motion carried. ` Mayor Gottfried was directed to contact City Attorney John Buckley to determine how long the city must reserve capacity in the northwest treatment plant for the balance (126 units) of the Parkland Planned Unit Development as provided in the agreement between the two parties. Ald. Ford moved to recommend to the Common Council that they consider imposing a moratorium on the development of all major subdivisions within the northwest and northeast sewer districts because of -the lack .of treatment capacity. Seconded by Ald. Colburn, motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 10:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Ald. Charles CCC/je C. Colburn Z'e
